Letters to David
Irving on this Website

I
HAVE just been reading a book called "Tödliche
Zufälle." [Fatal Coincidences].

In
this book the author, Rod Taylor, a pseudonym, says
that Rudolf Hess was murdered, strangled on August
17, 1987. You have of course heard all this.

Do
you think there are any substance in this? The book claims
that MI5 was behind the killing of Hess. I have problems
with understanding why he should have committed suicide in
1987. How could he? He had soldiers around him all day long.
If he wanted to take hes own life, why did he not do
earlier?

notes:

Hitler's
erstwhile deputy Rudolf Hess
was murdered, according to the Munich pathologist
Professor Spann who examined the body. The scar on
the neck was horizontal (strangled) not diagonal
(hanged). I have read his autopsy report.
